Chapter 62:

The demon cultivator continued to propose a blood oath, but Li Su remained silent, focusing on unleashing the Dayan Sword Formations full power to defeat him. The spirit stones were rapidly depleting, absorbed by the formation.

As the turbulence within the formation grew, the demon cultivator concealed his unease. Once powerful, he was depleted, his treasures used up, and his cultivation regressed. He felt the pressure of his diminished strength.

Kid, think it through, the demon cultivator urged, his voice trembling. Even if you control this killing formation, you can only deal with me. When the Heavenly Demon Palace comes, they wont be lured by you. Theyll slaughter everyone here to force you out.

Li Su retorted, Your words are excessive, and activated the entire Dayan Sword Formation. The cave trembled as the remaining ancient long swords, the Dayan Swords, launched a simultaneous attack. The formations complexity relied on a skilled artificers cooperation, and the remaining Dayan Swords were indestructible.

Damn it! the demon cultivator cried out, caught off guard by Li Sus sudden activation of the formation. He had no choice but to fully engage in battle, shouting, Kid, youll regret this when the Heavenly Demon Palaces people arrive!

The demon cultivator could only manage to shout this before fully immersing himself in the battle.

Within the Dayan Sword Formation, more than thirty Dayan Swords unleashed a stunning attack. Visually, it seemed as though numerous long swords were encircling the demon cultivator. However, there were only around thirty Dayan Swords. This optical illusion was due to the incredible speed of the Dayan Swords, which generated multiple afterimages. Additionally, the Dayan Swords themselves could project the Dayan Sword Formation to some extent, creating a sense of illusion.

Curse it, curse it! The demon cultivators cries continued to reverberate. His strength was remarkable, as he managed to withstand the onslaught of many Dayan Sword attacks. Suppose these Dayan Swords were used against a Foundation Establishment or even an early Golden Core cultivator without advanced defensive techniques. In that case, they might be unable to endure a single strike. This type of battle consumed an extraordinary number of spirit stones, as it was specifically designed for Yuan Infant (Early Nascent Soul) cultivators.

With the Sect Leader providing a substantial number of spirit stones, Li Su spared no expense and unleashed the full power of the entire sword formation. The Dayan Swords went on a furious assault, and due to their sheer quantity, the demon cultivator was completely hidden from view. Nevertheless, his overwhelming demonic aura could still be sensed.

The Sect Leader, understanding the gravity of the situation, offered, Li Su, these Heavenly Thunder Pearls can threaten someone at the early Golden Core stage. Take them.

Li Su recognized the pearls as Heavenly Thunder Pearls, crafted from thunderstorms and potent against souls. He tossed two into the Dayan Sword Formation, filling it with thunder and lightning forcing the demon cultivator to reveal himself.

However, the demon cultivators soul proved agile, evading the Heavenly Thunder Pearls. This highlighted the Dayan Sword Formations weakness against souls, especially against ghost cultivators, who had lost their physical forms and couldnt possess others. Ghost cultivation was dangerous, and this demon cultivators soul wasnt keen on it.

Li Su tossed another Heavenly Thunder Pearl but couldnt harm the demon cultivator. Seeing this, Li Su suggested, Use the Thunder Pill, a far more potent item from the Purple Thunder Cloud Beast.

The demon cultivator threatened to become a ghost cultivator if needed, vowing vengeance on Li Sus clan, but a violet lightning bolt from the Thunder Pill struck, annihilating his soul.

Li Su remarked, Now, this guy is gone for good.

The Sect Leader inquired about the source of the Thunder Pill, her gaze fixed on it. Li Su casually replied, I obtained this from killing the Purple Thunder Cloud Beast.

Realizing he may have revealed too much, Li Su added, Yes, Sect Leader, when asked if he had reached the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, his expression betraying his admission.

The Sect Leaders surprise was evident, it hadnt been long since Li Su reached the third level of the Golden Core stage, and now he was at the fifth. Her astonishment would likely be even greater if she knew he was actually in the late Golden Core stage.
